Because nothing is more fun than predicting a game that's unpredictable.

Lineups:

Clearly Lidstrom's team is going to have several full-time centers on the wing.

Head-to-head, with me having taken the liberties of assigning some centers to wing:

The 2nd-from-right column is which team in my opinion has the advantage in real hockey, the rightmost the advantage in all-star game terms. The D were too close for me to tell (Lidstrom is stronger at the top, I think Staal has a bit more depth). The goaltending is pretty lopsided.

Not understanding Corsi and other stats I'm using? In short, Corsi is plus-minus, but based on shots + missed shots + blocked shots. Remember that context is important; by itself, Corsi is as meaningful as +/- (which is to say, not at all). For more, check out Gabriel Desjardins' advanced hockey stats FAQ here.
